Has Anyone Ordering Anything From The Ns Store?

<div class="IPBDescription">I Have A Few Questions</div> I'm considering ordering myself a nice shiny new Natural-Selection
coffee mug from the Natural-Selection store, mainly for 2 reasons:
1: I like to support the MOD (Constellation icon rules too!)
2: To stop the chumps at work getting the crappy yellow mugs mixed up.

I was wondering if anyone in the U.K had ordered something from
the store and can tell me how long delivery took?

Have any of you International people (er... all of you) ordered
any items? What was the packaging like? Would you order from
them again? Any feedback on the service would be much appreciated
as I'm already paranoid about purchasing things online :-)

    I was thinking about it, but I dont really have the disposable income to buy all of these NS things. And anyhow, they dont do the eye picture on a black Tshirt. And I refuse to spoil my lovely walls with posters, however cool they look. And I cannot be bothered to find out how much it costs to get cafepress to deliver to the UK.

    It's Cafe Press, right? They're pretty darn speedy for US deliveries; I have no reason to suspect they'd take an unreasonable amount of time with UK deliveries.

    I just wish they did shirts in a color other than white - my white shirts never live more than a week without attracting some sort of stain.

    Black shirts would be the shizzle.

    Cafepress was fast for me when I ordered from it. (not form NS store, although I am planning to)

    Cafepress only does gray and white (we have gray now in the 2.0 section, BTW).

    According to their <a href='http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/shipping.aspx#1' target='_blank'>shipping FAQ</a>, European delivery is 9-12 business days.

    This is wandering off topic, but has anyone investigated the possibility of having someone else do the shirts? PA, for example, was with Gameskins for a while, who does shirts of all colors. I'd love a shirt in bacterium green or TSA blue.

    Actually that was going to be my next question <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    When will we see a store that does black shirts?
    I have nothing against wearing white but I think the
    Natural-Selection logo would look sooooo much better
    on a black background. I'll review the site alittle more
    and take alook around the FAQ's and payment options.
    And hopefull yorder my lovely mug in the morning.

    Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

    Well, I ordered one of the mousepads.
    I'm living in Germany, but I'm sure the shipping and taxes are at least a bit comparable to the UK.
    I doesn't remember the exact prices any more, but to be honest, the shipping alone was almost more expansive than the item itself...

    The shipping wasn't fast, but okay. The packaging was also okay.
    I wouldn't order again, since shipping is far too expensive for my taste.

    On the other hand, my lovely Logitech-Mouse now lives on a beatifull Natural-Selection mousepad <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I have a bit of a vengeance against Cafe Press. But anyway. I found with ordering some stuff from there they are EXTREMELY slow delivering to the UK. I've ordered two seperate times and neither of them came within a month. Ok, this may just be me, but i found them to be extremely poor.

    And i won't go into (Again!) the poor quality of their printing....

    Dude, the price they charge for their merchandise and shipping you would expect quality. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No really, that's cool. Take food directly out of Flayra's mouth. Really! Please! Or you could run him over with your car, that'd be cool too right? Maybe you could mug him? Whatever it takes to keep him from making a bare subsistance living, right? You rock!

    Learn to go away when it's obvious that you are experiencing moderator wrath. And stop calling me 'dude' like we're buddies.
